よむ Firefox

よむ

Read Japanese on any page with furigana, pitch accent, pop-up definitions, subtitles, OCR, and a study page.

Features & Capabilities

Read Japanese where you already read it.

よむ makes Japanese text, subtitles, and images tappable. Click or hover a word to see its reading, furigana, pitch accent, dictionary meanings, examples, and study status. It works on ordinary web pages, YouTube subtitles, manga and images through OCR, and local files when you allow file access.

You stay in control. Import Yomitan dictionaries for offline lookup, or connect Jiten, JPDB, Bunpro, and Anki when you want them. Choose how pages are handled: leave them unchanged, scan Japanese automatically, or scan only when you ask.

The extension also includes a focused study page for vocabulary and kanji review. Open Study from Yomu's toolbar whenever you want it. Yomu never replaces or redirects your browser's new-tab page. A fresh standalone Study session begins at Word, then continues through your chosen review sequence.

Highlights

  • Furigana, pitch accent, and popup definitions on Japanese text
  • Clickable subtitles and image OCR
  • Offline Yomitan dictionary imports
  • Optional Jiten, JPDB, Bunpro, and Anki integrations
  • A study page for vocabulary and kanji review
  • English and Japanese interface
  • No remote executable code and no sale of personal data
Site access is needed because the extension's single purpose is to annotate Japanese wherever it appears. Page text is processed locally except when you explicitly use a lookup, OCR, or sync service that you configured.

Is よむ Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

よむ requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

よむ is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
